Outer Space

Instructables can be a magical place to work at times. I will never forget the day I was walking into the office and encountered Buzz Aldrin riding a hoverboard. To be clear, it was not one of those wheeled self-balancing toys, but a magnetically levitating board. It was pretty much like the one promised to us in the classic movie, Back to the Future Part 2.

Speaking of the future, there are few things that highlight the promise of things to come like space exploration. Since Instructables is a website which promotes innovative and forward thinking, it should be of little surprise to anyone that our site is full of projects celebrating outer space.

Whether that means creating devices to track the movement of planets and stars, examining the cosmos with a telescope, creating your own astronaut costumes as an homage to the space program or DIY rockets to take to the skies, we are a bunch that likes to gaze up into the sky and dream.

I am excited to share this large, but by no means exhaustive, collection of outer space themed projects and encourage you to do a little space exploration of your own!
